Career progression frameworks that make growth visible.
Access HR builds career progression frameworks and job architecture for agencies and scaling businesses, so people can see how to grow and leaders have a fair, consistent basis for promotion and pay decisions.
What is a career progression framework?
A career progression framework sets out the levels within each role or function, what's expected at each level, and how people move between them. Combined with job architecture, it gives a transparent basis for promotion and pay.
Clear levels, fair decisions.

Progression frameworks, answered.
What is job architecture?
Job architecture is the structure of job families, levels and titles across a business. It's the foundation for progression frameworks, pay bands and workforce planning.
Do progression frameworks include pay?
They should link to pay. We design levels and promotion criteria, and work with your leadership and finance team to align them to pay bands.
Do you build progression frameworks for agencies?
Yes. Agencies and creative teams are a core part of our work, including frameworks that balance craft skills with client and leadership responsibilities.
